Whether it was the top soldier or flag guard... Ye Jian wanted to tell him that she didn’t want to stand in front of everyone.
After contemplating for a while, Ye Jian’s expression became weaker, “Officer, I would like to ask if there will be any group photos or anything of that kind.”
There was a deep underlying meaning to that question. It was understandable if Ye Jian was a normal student, but she wasn’t.
That was why when the officer heard that, his gaze changed immediately. He scanned Ye Jian once more and discovered that her hands were under the table now.
“Because this is a military training for Provincial No.1 Middle School, it has great significance. Taking a group photo is something we cannot do without.” The officer would not hide things . With a soldier’s intuition, he knew that Ye Jian had her reasons for asking that question.
Her skills, age, and behavior... that was not something that was endowed in her since birth. It was a result of training. The political officer could determine that Ye Jian was a soldier that was trained in a military unit, and nurtured to be an outstanding elite soldier.
Ye Jian frowned, then smiled, “I’m really sorry officer, I can’t be the top soldier and the flag guard. I’m sorry I can’t live up to your expectations.”
“I understand, I understand. We didn’t think and consider enough. But...” The political officer smiled wider, and revealed a familiar, mysterious smile that you could see on Commissar Yan’s face. It was filled with the taste of a sly old fox, “We can definitely satisfy your request. We will not be taking a photo. Rest assured.”
Suddenly, Ye Jian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry anymore. She didn’t agree to it in the beginning, but now, the officer said it as though she had agreed to it.
“I realized that every political officer is like a fox, you can’t defend against them. I haven’t agreed to it, but you have already used my reason for rejection as my request.”
Hearing those words, the officer laughed heartily, “Hahaha, no, no. We can only satisfy the requests made by a warrior, we must do our best! Your request is a trivial matter, there’s no need to discuss. I can do it.” Saying that every political officer was an old fox was hinting to him that she was indeed a soldier trained from another military unit.
He was envious. Which military unit had such a good vision to select their soldiers in advance... However, they might have selected their soldiers well, but no one knows where Ye Jian would be assigned to when she joins the army.
And the matter was settled. In order to reassure Ye Jian, the political officer said, “The students will not take photos secretly. All the cameras were confiscated before they entered the military unit, and after everyone had their training, we brought metal detectors to check every dormitory and made sure there were no prohibited items.”
The army was strict in 1997. Things like cameras were prohibited from military areas, and even soldiers were not allowed to bring them in.
Thousands of students entered the chemical defense regiment. Besides the routine inspections, everyone didn’t know that they arranged a second inspection in secret.
